This is a small box that connects to your home network and your cable box to stream live TV to your iPhone, iPad, Android or computer anywhere with no restrictions. Anything on your home TV can now show up on your phone or tablet. The only real catches are that it takes over the TV that someone is watching and the HDMI mode is not perfect.
